Singel panel comic. Short hair staring in front of a presentation. On the screen is a trajectory of a comet passing by the earth. The orbit of the moon is drawn around the earth. Short hair says "Astronomers initially said there was a one-in-6,000 chance that the newly discovered asteroid might "do something cool" in 2063, but further observations determined it will be "just a boring dot like all the others."
